Those few who are well-known to an international audience are surprisingly accessible. Jim Wallis is the founder of Sojourners Magazine, New York Times best-selling author, public theologian and television commentator. Walking alongside, he told me that meaningful immigration reform is today much closer to becoming a reality than it has been in many years. The reason is because “the evangelicals are behind it and they are pressing the Republicans, who are coming around to it,” he said. For evangelicals “this is a moral and spiritual issue, not merely a social or economic one.” </div>

<p>We’re headed home from <a href="http://www.wildgoosefestival.org" target="_blank">Wild Goose Festival</a>, a gathering of artists, activists, musicians, and theologians, in Hot Springs, N.C. It was hot, rainy, and messy. My suitcase smells like my fifth grade gym locker.</p><p>I can’t wait to go back next year.</p><p>The speakers are remarkable; many of them are walking the talk they’re offering, which is an unfortunately rare phenomenon. The music is fresh and exciting, the art is created before your eyes, and there is an energy of hopeful expectation that renews your soul, flushing out the broken-down-ness of daily life.</p><p>But the most important part of the whole four-day event lies in the unexpected moments. Sometimes I would walk along the main dirt road in the middle of the grounds, lined with tables, tents, and makeshift gathering spaces, until I saw something interesting going on and just joined in.</p><p>In one moment you’re debating the theological implications of the American food-industrial complex. Half an hour later, you’re laughing with new friends in the beer tent. And then, just when the sun sets and you’re sure you lack the fortitude to go one any more, the music on the main stage cranks up and the very earth beneath you vibrates.</p><p><a href="http://www.sojo.net/blogs/2014/06/30/holy-common-ground-wild-goose" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Christiansemergent christianityFaithGod's PoliticsReligionwild gooseFaith and SpiritualityLife and PeaceMon, 30 Jun 2014 18:57:00 +0000Christian Piatt55306 at http://www.sojo.netWild Goose Festival Puts Spotlight on Visual Artshttp://www.sojo.net/blogs/2014/06/24/wild-goose-festival-puts-spotlight-visual-arts
<p>Words and music are the stock-in-trade at most Christian festivals, but the Wild Goose Festival is adding another component: the visual arts.</p><div id="attachment_77133">This year’s progressive Christian smorgasbord of culture, justice, and spiritual exchange June 26-29 in Hot Springs, N.C., near Asheville, will feature plenty of speakers. Keynoters include newsmakers such as the Rev. William Barber, leader of the state’s Moral Mondays campaign; Jim Wallis, poverty activist and founder of Sojourners magazine; and Frank Schaefer, the United Methodist minister who was defrocked in December for performing his son’s same-sex wedding.</div><p>Run River North and Jars of Clay will headline the musical offerings.</p><p>But as with last year, the festival is making an intentional shift to include more visual art; more than 13 artists and arts groups will present their work.</p><p>This year’s theme of “Living Liberation” will attempt to challenge conventional Christian art with liturgical painting, a collaborative mural project, experiential storytelling, and an exhibit called Faithmarks that explores spirituality and tattoos.</p><p><a href="http://www.sojo.net/blogs/2014/06/24/wild-goose-festival-puts-spotlight-visual-arts" target="_blank">read more</a></p>Carnival de ResistancefestivalGod's PoliticsHot Springsvisual artswild gooseFaith and SpiritualityLife and PeaceTue, 24 Jun 2014 21:07:45 +0000Amanda Greene55116 at http://www.sojo.netMoral Mondays' William Barber To Speak At WNC Festivalhttp://www.sojo.net/press/moral-mondays-william-barber-speak-wnc-festival

<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Troy Bronsink’s meditative live album&nbsp;<i>Songs to Pray By</i>&nbsp;stretches its sonic arms to embrace every listener with expansive words of spirited awe and awesome humility, with ecstatic waves of audio grace and rhythmic gravity.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Bronsink and his band bring to church what we’ve seen out on the festival circuit for years: a shimmery and psychedelic use of sound and language to elevate listeners who choose to inhabit a song as if it were wings, the place where the spirit soars and the heart sings. We don’t often associate noodly guitars and trippy percussion with the worship sound, which is exactly why this album is such a perfect addition to the praise genre.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A solo Bronsink will be presenting his musical work tomorrow at the Wild Goose Festival.

<p>Dear Sojourners friends,</p><p>I have some news to share with you that is difficult (for me at least) but wanted you to hear it from the horse’s (or mama bear’s) mouth: Today is my last day as Sojourners' Web Editor and Director of New Media.</p><p>Change is hard. There is always a certain lamenting that comes with it, even when the change is, on many levels, a good thing. This was a difficult decision but one I felt I had to make in order to follow the lead of the Spirit. Our CEO Jim Wallis received the news of my impending departure with great grace, love and support. For Jim's friendship, I am ever blessed and thankful.</p><p>See the thing is, as many of you know, <a _fcksavedurl="http://sojo.net/magazine/2009/12/surprised-motherhood" href="http://sojo.net/magazine/2009/12/surprised-motherhood">I didn’t become a mother </a>until about four years ago when my husband, Maury, and I welcomed home our boy, Vasco, whom we adopted from Malawi. Vasco, is now 13 and, as any parent of teenagers will tell you, they need their mamas during these transitional boy-to-man/girl-to-woman years perhaps more than ever before, even as they are sprouting their independent wings and pulling away from their parental units.</p><p><a href="http://www.sojo.net/blogs/2012/12/14/ch-ch-ch-ch-changes-news-our-bloggerina" target="_blank">read more</a></p>changeGod's PoliticsmotherhoodSojournersspirit's callweb editorwild gooseFaith and SpiritualityLife and PeaceFri, 14 Dec 2012 14:00:51 +0000Cathleen Falsani45809 at http://www.sojo.netYou're a Christian, Right?

A few weeks ago during his talk at the Wild Goose Festival, Sojourners founder Jim Wallis made an important point that is easily forgotten in the heat of the culture wars: The terms &quot;right&quot; and &quot;left&quot; are political categories, not religious categories. And whenever we try to cram our faith into one or the other, we wind up distorting not only our religion but our politics as well. </div>
